Sept 19 started off as a grey wet day and didnt look very promising for the planned Pleine Aire session in the beautiful setting of Kaloya Park in Oyama. As the time approached for our painting session weather improved dramatically and we were blessed with a perfect day, thanks for your prayers Carol-Ann.

Visit to The Barn Gallery in it's true country setting to view original Okanagan Art was a befitting end to our day.

A great display for Livessence, we had a very capable team .... 14 artists participated with a total of 64 paintings. Sales were better this year. "Collage Figure 2", (top left) was the piece I sold.

Saturday, 12 sept was a delightful evening as some members enjoyed a Mediterranean ambiance and meal at Greek House restaurant in Winfield (top centre).
